When season 2 of the Bakugan series came out, we were introduced to the Bakugan Trap, which serves as a support for the Core Bakugan in battle. The cheats were very well received by Bakugan fans. So when season 3 of the series arrived, the creators introduced a new line of weaponry to further aid with battles. The Bakugan Battle Gears were released and fans loved it too. Then the creators surprised them even more with Bakugan Mobile Assault.
These three became highlights of the Bakugan series, and they weren’t just shown in action in the animated series. They were also incorporated into the Bakugan game, where we can use them to help us in our battles in the Bakugan arena.
In the game, we can only use a total of two support Bakugan. So we can have two Bakugan traps, two Battle Gears, two Mobile Assaults, or a mix of one and the other for a total of two. Note that we can use both supports on a standing Bakugan in battle. We only have to put them one at a time and in suitable turns with our opponent.
When using the Bakugan trap in battle, make sure it has the same attribute as the Bakugan you are playing with in the current battle. The Trap will reveal more Attribute symbols when it is opened on the Door card. You can then change your Bakugan’s Attribute to one of the Attributes shown in the Trap.
When using Bakugan Battle Gear, there are two ways to put it into play. You can put it on the back of the Bakugan or you can put it on the Door card next to your Bakugan. Add the Battlegear’s G-Power to your Bakugan’s G-Power. Then, check out the Battle Gear Reference Card for the list of Attributes and Skills for the battle gear. If the battle gear matches one of the Attributes, then you can play the Skill listed on the card. If it matches the color of the Door card, choose any ability that appears on the Reference Card.
If you choose to use the Bakugan Mobile Assault, make sure it also has the same attribute as the Bakugan you are using in battle. Place the Bakugan on the Mobile Assault and simply flip it over the Gate card on the playing field. When the Portal card is turned over, note what type of Portal card it is (gold, silver, or copper) and see if it is among those listed on the mobile assault reference card. There are usually two listed on the reference card. If the Portal card type does not match any of those listed on the Reference Card, the Mobile Assault will be considered destroyed and removed from play. The Bakugan will remain on the Gate card to fight on its own when this happens.
Just remember that strategy is still the key to winning a Bakugan battle. You don’t have to keep using support like Traps and Battle Gears (although they give more G-Power). If your opponents have high G-Powers, then you should use some Bakugan Trap, Battle Gear, and / or Mobile Assault support. But strategy will always be a big part of victory in Bakugan games.
